Just wanted to get that out there. His work in preseason will earn him the job. A lot of people are taking the politically correct approach and just handing Moore the job before we've even been to training camp or played a single preseason game. The organization's approach at this point is to not undercut Moore right off the bat but mark my words... their opinions will change once we've seen JC in preseason taking the majority of the meaningful snaps as the #2 QB.

I have no doubt he'll earn the starting job by week 1.

ok, so i was off by two weeks. that prediction was made in april!

No NFL coach starts a rookie, when he already has an experienced option that wins games and the team . Rookies start when there is no other option. Flacco, Ryan, Sanchez....they started b/c there was no Matt Moore.

I agree with Fox. Only stat I care about is the W/L stat. Moore wins. Clausen has talent. That is all we know at this point and I think the team would respond best in 2010 to Moore.

I would be surprised if Fox started JC in week 1. I'm not saying that it couldn't happen, but, generally, Fox has moved very cautiously with rookies.

Since Moore is more than capable at the position, why would Fox risk setting up a rookie for possible failure so soon?

Given what the team has said and Fox's history with starting rookies I find it doubtful that he would start.

However, I am excited about seeing JC in some pre-season games. Woot! Woot!

He shouldn't start the season, but he certainly could.

Clausen has far superior skills to Moore, but not the timing, playbook knowledge, and trust of the coaches.

If we are in a position to make a run at the playoffs, you keep JC on the bench all year, and if not, put his ass in there about week 9 or 10.

Doubt it, don't think there will be an open QB competition - it's Matt's job to lose right now. The only way I can see Clausen starting this year is if Matt gets hurt or really struggles and I think they will give Matt every opportunity to right the ship before giving him the hook.

We've all learned that when the Panthers crown you the starting QB, it takes ALLOT for them to pull the plug (which overall I think is a good tendency).

Wait a minute...I thought coach Fox didn't trust young and unproven players?

This place is crazy. In one thread, people complain that our DT's are young and inexperienced, and that Fox and Hurney are idiots for not signing a big time FA or drafting one in the early rounds, yet some of those same people claim that Clausen will start right away even though Fox actually has some history with Matt Moore and he's more experienced.

I love the Huddle.

      Bryce Young May Be The Answer

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      No one is asking him to be Tom Brady. They're just asking him to be as good if not better than Cooper Rush, Jimmy Garoppolo and Carson Wentz. We'd like Young to be better than Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield, but we're not even asking for that. No matter how you cut it he's going to be considered a bust for what was given up for him. He should be outpacing Cam Newton, Jake Delhomme and Kerry Collins game for game in their careers. He should at least be challenging the clutch level of Brady, Mahomes, Stafford, Goff, Garoppolo, Burrow, Hurts and Purdy. Remember that's based on the draft capital given up for Young, and not the extremely low bar Young has actually set for himself.

      So Kyler Murray gets praised as the best little QB...

      By CRA · Posted

      Even if you cherry pick Bryce post benching and ignore everything else and project it out over a full season….. there is no statistical  argument Kyler has ever been worse.   I’m no Murray fan as I agree he is more athlete than QB.   And I’m open to Bryce improving and support us continuing to develop him as this point.

      We need LBs--build the roster from the bottom up.  On offense, we have Coker who has been huge...if you fill your weaknesse without having to use free agent $$$ or draft picks--win win.
